At any rate, we were already down about twenty or thirty goals last season and additionally with the most likely possibility of yet another window without a striker being bought, we really could do with Ramsey hitting his goal scoring stride and chipping in with 15 goals this season. I mean as majestic as Ozil is, his goal return is frankly not good enough for his position. I really wouldn't mind seeing Ozil/Ramsey alternating depending on the opposition and or the injury situation.
